On-Your-Feet Guide: Visible Learning: 10 Mindframes for Teachers (On-Your-Feet-Guides)

The 10 Visible Learning Mindframes are a foundational concept in Visible Learning - but it's hard to know what the mindframes look like in practice. In this On-Your-Feet Guide, we provide teachers with a reflective tool to help them identify their mindframes and embody the VL Mindframes in their classrooms. The 10 Mindframes are:

1. I am an evaluator
2. Assessment shows me my effect
3. I collaborate
4. I'm a change agent
5. I take on challenges and don't fear failure
6. I give and take feedback
7. I teach through dialogue, not monologue
8. I use our school's common language of learning
9. I develop positive relationships
10. I talk about learning much more than teaching

On-Your-Feet Guides (OYFGs) provide you with the ultimate cheat sheet to implement effective change in your classroom while in the moment of teaching.
